[London]
Wednesday. [ca. September 1837]
My dear Mr Boyd,
I dont know what you will say when you hear what the enclosed is. I am ashamed of writing my confession. Miss Harding will divulge the fatal secret,—& I will only observe that Arabel has this instant found the fragment in question on a table, & that it must have taken advantage of my carelessness to escape from a certain book while I folded up a certain parcel. I would send it to Mr Lowry, but I do not know his address. The cups & saucers, being found neither on the table nor under it, may possibly have reached him.
Your desire was conclusive. I sent mine. Are not my modesty & my exactitude fairly matched? I am going to see you very soon.
Your affectionate incorrigible friend
E B Barrett.
